But there are a few ways to shake things up:Cash for Keys: Offer them money to move out.

The key is by leveraging OPM (Other People’s Money).Do you have private money lenders in your circle who might fund the deal in exchange for equity or some interest?

Hi @Cosmo DePintoHave you considered a fully turn-key option? 

Being a nutrition and fitness coach, your point below is the largest component that I have seen. 

We just helped an investor buy a side-by-side duplex for $110k, pretty turn key with tenants in there paying $825 a side.

@Richard Balsam Thank you for this key news.

You cant view a lot of FL probate dosuments directly from the recorders site but you can get the key people (petitioner/decedent) then combine with the case type (summary vs formal probate admin) then look through property records to see if  they own property and whether there are encumbrances.
